You might check your settings for :syn sync to see how much syncing is going on. It shouldn't be too painful if it's set to start syncing 40 lines above the top (which is what mine is currently set to by default). However, if it's set to parse from the start of the file, you'll see horrible performance (but ideal syntax coloring) You can read up at :help :syn-sync and the adjoining options about maxlines/minlines. -tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
